Getting started on Internet Computer

Installing Canister SDK

Enable feature Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart

Add NodeJS to package repository

sudo sh -ci "$(curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x)"

Install dfx

sh -ci "$(curl -fsSL https://internetcomputer.org/install.sh)"

It is not recommended to use the default identity as this will hold your funds in ICP token. To create your new identity:
```
dfx identity new yourname
```
Input a password to secure and encrypt your identity
Add funds to your identity. Creating wallet canister requires atleast 0.03 ICP. You can get ICP from exchange or send me a direct message at discord chan#8942 with your account-id.
```
dfx ledger account-id
```
Create your wallet canister. This will hold Cycles.
```
dfx ledger create-canister $(dfx identity get-principal) --amount 0.029 --network ic
```
If you have enough funds and no error occured this will return a canister id.
Copy the canister id as it will be needed in the next command.
Deploy your wallet canister. Make sure to paste the correct canister id and remove the square brackets.
```
dfx identity deploy-wallet [your-canisterid] --network ic
```
Add cycles to your wallet.
- You can get 20 Trillion Cycles by accomplishing the tasks in DFINITY Faucet.
- Or send me a dm at discord chan#8942.

Start IC network on your machine
```
dfx start --clean --background
```
Create a new project.
```
dfx new mydapp
```
Replace mydapp to your project name.
This will create a new directory and files for a sample project.
Go inside the directory. Make sure to replace the mydapp to your project name.
```
cd mydapp
```
Compile and deploy to local network
```
dfx deploy
```
It will return a link where you can access and test your canister.

Deploy to main network

dfx deploy --network ic --with-cycles 300000000000
